this has got to be one of the most boring films i've ever seen. awful dubbing, characters that you care nothing about. there really isn't much here to praise. though i did like the killer w/his metal arm and nasty needle. it's a wonder what Fulci would've done with the film had he lived long enough. the script, though written by Fulci Daniele Stropa w/work by Argento is far from great. i had more fun doing my laundry than watching this movie. there are far better Italian horror films out there. rent this 1 only if you're a die-hard Fulci & Argento fan. though they've both made much better films than this. i had high hopes after reading the review on IMDb, but now i'm let down.
